SOME INDICATIONS.
The President in No Hurry to Ap'
DOint a Successor to Sharks.

point a Successor to Sparks.
Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The appoint
ment of a successor to the late Gen.
Sparks will not be made Immediately
unless advices from very near the pres
dent are misleading. There is some
reason to believe that Notwithstanding
his denials, Gen. Bryant, of Wisconsin
will be appointed. True it would not
be wise for him to say anything that
would look as though he were seeking
the office. But he is Col. Villas best
friend and very astute lawyer. He
would be the best man for the place
that can be selected. Gen. Bryant is Il
very pleasant, genial, honest gentle
man. Whoever knows him likes him.
His associates in the pOstOffice depart
and his relations with them all have
been most cordial. Gentlemen from
either house of congress are well pleased
with him when they have business to
transact with the attorney general for
the pOstOffice department. The Dakota
people who have been having celebra-
tons over the removal of Sparks,
will have good reason to rejoice and be
exceedingly glad if Gen. Bryant is
appointed in his stead. There is no
more interchangeable worker in any de-
partmet than Bryant If he becomes
commissioner of the general land office.
he will clean up those thousands of
cases which have been hanging fire for
so many moons. Settlers will soon find
out who owns the dirt and who doesn't.
But, equally fortunate would it be. if,
as is rumOred, Gen. Bryant shall be APP
pointed assistant attorney general for
the interior department. The present
incumbent of that office gives but little
better satisfaction than Sparks did in
his position. In fact, Montgomery is a
good man. but not a great man. Bry-
ant would be vast imprOveme mt upon
him. If Col. Villas shall go into the i'll
terror department, as seems to be
settled, he will put a dash and energy
into the department which will make
the heads of some of the slow pOkes
whirf The fellows who sit around and
look wise, while the hardy pioneers are
looking longingly to Washington for re-
lief, will find that cyclone has come.
Villas has no greater merit than that of
energy and push; the genius of labor.
Working himself, he cOmpels others to
follow his example. The heavy sitterS
will become the heavy workers, or else
they will become the heavy trampers-
out of office. Wherever he goes, and
whatever he undertakes, Col. Villas
means business.

UNHAPPY FANATICS.

Gen. CAMPBELL'S home organ at
IanktOn prOnOunceS the Aberdeen
movement revolutionary conspiracy
similar to that of 1861, to Subvert the
pronounced will Of the majOrity-a
wild dream of destructiOnists. and
though not reasonable against the gov
eminent, a defiance of a higher power
the people. The same idea is echoed
by loud Republican blower at Devils
Lake and few others of the same per-
suaSiOn here and there. Father POI
TER. the venerable patriot at La MOure,
in a somewhat milder vein, insists that
a legal expression has been had from
the people by majority. and that there
should be entire acquiescence i'll the
verdict at the polls. Other division
lists are, according to their temper,
III various stages of unhappiness over
the convention of the 18th. Still it is
probable that good many people will
be perverSe enough TO meet and elect
delegates TO Aberdeen, and a convention
will he held there and declare its views
without very much regard TO the pro-
tests of the class of gentlemen referred
TO. But it is romantic notion that
seems to possess them. Even had
majority of the voters of the territory
voted in favor Of division Oh the Sth of
November, there would be no Obliga-
ton imposed by it upon any citizen.
No legal requirements could grow OAt
of it. The object of the voting was
simply to furnish basis for advertis-
ing abroad, and especially TO advise
congress as to the general desire in
the territory in regard to seeking adj
mission as one or two states. Although
the opponents of division tried to stand
alOof and let the other side show it.;
strength, the people would not have it
that way. Enough voted to make the
result about tie, which was, under the
circumstances, a defeat for the duplex
idea. 1t was eminently proper, then,
that with the failure of the diviSiOnistS
to show popular strength sufficient TO
effect anything on their line the
uniOniSts should proceed to formulate
their views and prepare for their pres
entatiOn to the authorities at Washing
ton. the voting had OH this question had
no more substantial character than dec
laration in a political convention, and
these kickers might as well assert that
political party should moi hold to its
views when OutvOted at the polls, as
that the friends of one state should
abandon their ground at the present
juncture. The outgivings of these I'M
practicableS referred 10 are but dySpep-
tic belchings, somewhat unsayory to
those of unfortunate proximity, buta

POTTER says they do not understand

and easiest road to statehood is the
Aberdeen route, and who shall question
their right to go that way?
